Example Question #2881 : Algebra Ii
What is the value of ?
A factorial represents the product of all natural numbers less than a given number. Thus, which gives us .
Example Question #3 : Other Factorials
Solve the Quadratic Equation.
First, move all terms to the left by subtracting the quantity on the right.
From here, factor the quadractic into two binomials and set each equal to zero.
Example Question #5 : Other Factorials
What is ?
Remember that factorial is defined as:
So using this definition,
And .
So
The 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 all cancel from both the numerator and denominator. So we're left with just on top, which has a value of .
Example Question #1 : Other Factorials
How many -permutations (without repetition) are there when taking numbers from the set of numbers ?
The elements of the set don't matter. Only the size of the set matters when determining permutations.
Our set contains 9 integers, so for the first number in our permutation, we have 9 choices.
After picking that number, because we're not allowed repetition, our second number is from 8 choices.
Our final number is from 7 choices.
Multiplying gives us .
Example Question #77 : Factorials
What can be expressed as?
A factorial means you are multiplying the number, with one less than previous number and you keep multiplying until you reach . Since we are dealing with variables, let's analyze them. is definitely greater than in this situation because factorials are always positive numbers. If we took the difference between and we would get . This means after , the next biggest value is . Since we have and the next value multiplied is , we can conclude that will work since it incorporates values multiplied and also .
Example Question #5 : Other Factorials
What is ?
A factorial means you are multiplying the number, with one less than previous number and you keep multiplying until you reach .
So, is .
Multiplying that out, we get .
Example Question #9 : Other Factorials
What is ?
A factorial means you are multiplying the number, with one less than previous number and you keep multiplying until you reach .
So, is .
Multiplying that out, we get .
Example Question #10 : Other Factorials
What is ?
A factorial means you are multiplying the number, with one less than previous number and you keep multiplying until you reach .
So, is . Multiplying that out, we get .
We also have . That is or .
Since we are multiplying the factorial, we multiply and to get .
Example Question #11 : Other Factorials
What is ?
A factorial means you are multiplying the number, with one less than previous number and you keep multiplying until you reach .
So, is . We also have . That is .
Since we are dividing the factorial, we can cancel out some terms.
Both the numerator and denominator have , and we can cancel those out. We are left with or
Example Question #81 : Factorials
What is ?
A factorial means you are multiplying the number, with one less than previous number and you keep multiplying until you reach .
So, is . We are dividing by With careful inspection, can be broken down to .
If we cancel that out with the ones in the numerator, we have or .
